Ryan Gallagher has gone to war with The Bachelor's Abbie Chatfield over her clash with his friend, comedian Nikki Osborne.
Abbie, 26, had condemned Nikki in a string of Instagram posts on Monday night, after the 40-year-old shared a questionable meme comparing comparing the Covid vaccine mandate to rape.
The post in question, which has since been deleted, depicts convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein alongside actress Lindsay Lohan, with the caption: 'The original no jab, no job'.
The meme makes reference to Covid-19 vaccine mandates, and compares them to Weinstein's 'casting couch' crimes.
It wasn't long before Ryan, 33, stepped in to defend Nikki, who starred with him on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2020, sending Abbie a series of messages accusing her of being a 'wingey little girl' with no sense of humour.
Abbie promptly published several screen-grabs of their conversation to her Instagram Stories.

'There's someone online saying things, twisting words and saying that I believe in rape and stuff like that... like, come on. Let's not get our Instagram bloody army and bully people like you do to everyone,' he said to the camera while filming himself lying on the floor shirtless.
'Like, Sam Frost. She had to delete her Instagram,' he added, referring to Abbie's recent posts slamming The Bachelorette star for coming out as unvaccinated and accusing the public of unfairly judging her.

'You say you're a feminist, and then you literally put every woman down on the planet. Tell me the last thing I put on here that put a woman down. I'm more of a feminist than she is. It's just bullying. I'm just sick of it!' he exclaimed.
Ryan went on to defend his pal Nikki, insisting that she has a right to joke about anything she pleases.
'[Nikki has] got a sense of humour, and that's her sense of humour. If she wants to joke about it, let her! If you don't like it, f**king delete her! Block it. Just
